Simplifying Your Magento Navigation: How to Remove My Account Links

I wanted to remove some unwanted links from My account navigation links. So i attempt the below method by creating a new magento module to accomplish it as follows. Prior to try this let me hope you have prerequisite knowledge in deriving a new customized magento module. Let’s begin :

How to remove navigation links from My Account in Magento?

Step 1 : Create a XML file in app/etc/modules/YourNameSpace_Customer.xml

<config>
 <modules>
 <yournamespace_customer>
 <active>true</active>
 <codepool>local</codepool>
 </yournamespace_customer>
 </modules>
</config>

Step 2 : Create a php file in app\code\local\YourNameSpace\Customer\Block\Account\Navigation.php:

_links[$name]);
    }
}
?>

Step 3 : Create a configuration XML file in app\code\local\YourNameSpace\Customer\etc\config.xml:

<config>
<global>
<blocks>
<customer>
<rewrite>
<account_navigation>
YourNameSpace_Customer_Block_Account_Navigation
</account_navigation>
</rewrite>
</customer>
</blocks>
</global>
</config>

Step 4 : And finally you can remove My Account links individually from your local.xml file as :

<customer_account>
 <reference name="customer_account_navigation">
   <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>recurring_profiles</name></action>
   <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>billing_agreements</name></action>
   <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>tags</name></action>
   <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>OAuth Customer Tokens</name></action>
   <action method="removeLinkByName"><name>downloadable_products</name></action>
 </reference>
</customer_account>
